Igeologist note is that the land alone at fault line moved 24.8 cm over the past 175 years on average how much did the land more each year

First, let's establish a ratio between these two values. We'll use that as a starting point. I personally find it easiest to work with ratios as fractions, so we'll set that up:



To find the distance per year, we'll need to find the unit rate of this ratio in terms of years. The word unit refers to the number 1 (coming from the Latin root uni- ); a unit rate involves bringing the number we're interested in down to 1 while preserving the ratio. Since we're looking for the distance the fault line moves every one year, we'll have to bring that 175 down to one, which we can do by dividing it by 175. To preserve our ratio, we also have to divide the top by 175:



We have our approximately 0.14 cm or 1.4 mm per year

Repost your question with the two rates

You're doing something i dont know how to do but search up on google slope calculator maybe that will get you there
